Penns seek divorce after 11-year marriage

Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn are seeking to end their marriage of 11 years, according to People.com.

Sean Penn initially filed for divorce in Marin County, Calif., Superior Court on Dec. 7, but the petition was later dismissed. Three days after that, Robin Wright Penn filed her own paperwork.

According to People, Penn's divorce papers list Nov. 30 as the date of their separation. Wright's petition, filed Dec. 21, says they separated Dec. 1. Both list "irreconcilable differences" as the reason and ask for joint legal and physical custody of their two teenagers, Hopper Jack, 14, and Dylan Frances, 16.

A hearing in the case is set for April 21.

A rep for the couple first confirmed their plans to divorce to People late Thursday.
